Try the steps as mentioned in: If your Apple TV can't connect to Wi-Fi - Apple Support
Try the ‘Other…’ option instead of selecting a listed discovered network. Especially if the password has been changed.
For Apple TV (4th generation or earlier), verify that the router or access point isn’t set to use WPA3, as only device models from ~2018 or later support that. Instead use ‘WPA2/WPA3 Transitional’. Some users has to set ‘WPA2’-only first, then it would work.

If you have not already done this, try resetting the Apple TV back to factory defaults and then set it up again. Look for an option to connect using Wi-Fi.
